.deals Domains: For Pages Built on Time-Limited Offers
.deals entered the root zone on 3 July 2014, and the IANA record names Binky Moon, LLC as the sponsoring organisation. No eligibility condition has been verified for registration. The nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026 shows 12,176 names in the zone, of which 8,991 appear in the zone file — roughly three quarters of registrations are published.
This ending describes not an offer but the fact of an offer being time-bound: a window that opens and closes. So the rule reads — if you publish promotional pages that change on a regular cycle, a separate address keeps both your archive and your main site's structure clear. Where you hand out codes instead, the .coupons domain describes the function more accurately. Try candidates with a domain name search.

.deals Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .deals domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .deals address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .deals domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $6.73 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .deals returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .deals Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Anyone can; no eligibility condition has been verified.
Binky Moon, LLC, the sponsoring organisation, asks for no trade register entry, dealership agreement or sector check. A shop announcing its own promotion and an independent publication collecting offers apply on the same terms. To see whether a name is free, run a domain name search.
-
When the offer starts and ends, what it covers, any stock limit and the conditions.
The point that causes most argument on a time-limited offer is the moment it ends, and stating the hour together with the time zone removes the problem. Rather than deleting expired pages, move them to an archive and mark the status so links do not break. A page leading to a basket needs an encrypted connection; see the SSL certificate page.
-
One names the offer itself, the other the code that unlocks it.
.deals announces an opportunity that stays open for a set period; the page's job is to show the conditions and the deadline. .coupons names a key entered at checkout and publishes the rules attached to it. Details sit on the .coupons domain page.
-
Use your brand name or a product category, and keep dates and percentages out.
A year or a discount figure written into the address goes stale the moment the promotion ends, leaving a name you cannot reuse. A category name, by contrast, comes back into service every season. To try several variants together, use the bulk domain name search.
-
The zone holds 12,176 registrations, of which 8,991 are published.
The figures come from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026. A publication rate of three in four shows that most people taking a name here go on to build a page. Brand and category combinations remain widely open.
-
Begin by asking your current registrar for the authorisation code.
Promotional addresses peak seasonally, so plan the move for a quiet period; preparing the name servers in advance lowers the risk of disruption. The transfer lock must be open and sixty days must have passed since registration. Check the record with whois search, then go to the domain transfer page.
